Reason why pillows go yellow after man sparks debate over ‘The Yellow Pillow’

Joseph Loftus

It was the debate of the decade

Earlier this week, a monstrous debate erupted on social media after a man shared to his girlfriend his magical yellow pillow and yes, she was absolutely disgusted.

The man, who goes by the name of Cam, claimed that his absolute state of a pillow was the secret to him getting the perfect night’s sleep.

When Cam’s girlfriend responded to the pillow with nothing but utter disgust, he took to social media to see if anyone else could relate to his magical key to sleep.

Amazingly countless men responded to the post sharing their own stories about their beautiful pillows of filth.

In his post Cam explained that his pillow “bestows upon me the most peaceful slumber”.

One person commented to explain that they “legit haven’t rested comfortably since” getting rid of their Yellow Pillow while another argued that their “life has been a downward spiral” since they chucked theirs.

A third said that one of the most important factors in the making of a man is “using the same pillow since the age of ten and never washing it”.

In fact, men appeared to be universally in favour of the Yellow Pillow while most women found it absolutely revolting.

One woman responding to the picture of Cam’s pillow said that it looked identical to her husbands. She then confessed he refers to it as “seasoning” followed by a vomiting emoji.

Another woman said: “Men will s**t on women for believing in astrology but then believe they can only sleep because their pillow is f**king nasty.”

A third wrote: “If you go to his house and see these leave.”

But just what is it that makes a pillow turn an infectious yellow? Well, the quick answer is moisture in all forms.

Naturally when you sleep, you sweat, and sweat can turn your sheets and pillows yellow over time.

Face lotions, drool, skin flakes, and wet hair, can all also prompt your pillows to change colour.

While yellow pillows may look a bit gross, experts have argued that yellow pillows are fine to use so long as they smell fine and feel fine.

However, why would you?
